CIIIRIO Situation Reviewed

By Deputy Minister Shaw

No. 1's he has in storage on April 1.

It may even be, Mr. Shaw said. that he will get more than 69 cents at that time, for many things can happen during the winter months. But even if he did not, he will still be getting a fair price, for 69 cents in the bin is equivalent to 80 cents at the car which has never been considered a poor price. And he has the satis- faction of knowing that despite the great potato surpluses both in Can- ada and the United States. the new regulations have practically- estab- lished a reasonable floor below which the price of his product can- not go.

No Monopoly Now

Mr. Shaw said there was one fact which many Island growers seemed to forget, namely, that the busi- ness of marketing Island potato seed is not the easy matter it was twenty five years ago when the Province had a practical monopoly. New Brunswick has become a big exporter of good quality seed and even Nova Scotia is becoming in- creasingly interested in potato seed production. Neither is the Am- erican grower wholly dependent on Island seed. He produces good seed of his own and in large quantities so that, whenall those factors are. considered, the Island grower, if he is to maintain his leadership against increasing competition must not only strive to preserve the superiority of his product but he must give that product more publicity.

Mr. Shaw said it is only that reputation for superior quality which induced the American Gov- ernment to agree to the present regulations.

Will Make Every Effort To Curb Juvenile Grime

The smashing of 55 panes of glass at. the Bruce Stewart plant. on Sunday, though of a more serious nature. represents but an- other 0f the many acts of vandal- ism perpetrated by juveniles which have become general throughout the City in. recent months, Mayor B. Earle MacDonald informed ‘The Guardian last night.

"We have known for a long time," the Mayor said, “that youngsters. many of them equipped with sling- shots, have been doing minor damage to citizens‘ property and we have taxed our brains with respect to the best. and most effective means of combating such destruction."

"We also know that such van- dalism is being perpetrated by a very small percentage of the City's Juvenile; and we have been re- luctant to take any action which might be considered drastic. Since however, those responsible for this wanton destruction are becoming bolder, the only solution now is for us to take such measures as will hold the parents of those juveniles responsible for those out- rages. After all. the character of the child is largely moulded in the home, and if those parents whos_e children are causing this destruct- ion cannot or will not look after them, then the City will step into the breach."

Mayor MacDonald said that. Sgt. A. J. Dowling took over his new duties yesterday and from now until further notice will devote all his attention to curbing juvenile delinquency in the City.

Courl. M. A. Farmer. chairman of the Police Committee, said that the curfew by-law will be strictly enforced from now on as a re- sult. of the recent. outbreak of juvenile delinquency and that all children under 16 years of age will have to be off the streets at 9:30 p. m. unless they have a reasonable explanation. Coun. Farmer said the Police have been instructed to rigorously enforce the law. '

Manitoba Mink Ranchers Suffer Loss

WINNIPEG, Nov. 29 — (C?) -- Mink ranchers in suburban Charis!- wood. where about 10 per w" of Manitoba's fur ranching is con- ducted, were reported today to have guffered losses of "several hundred thousand dollars" in an outbreak of distemper.

Irvine B. Margolese, ranch own- er, said today that. within the lust. two years. ranchers have lost about 25 per cent of their stock.

He said that. ranchers were pre- pared to establish a fund of $0.- 000 to combat the disease but that tag Provincial Government would not take the responsibility of con- tmt and preparing a suitable vac- cine.

Madame Chisng indicated such an attitude when she said the methods of aid should be determ- ined by the United States. Prem- ier Sun F0 intakes it official, say- lllg a mar. like Gen. MacArthur or Gen. Wedemeyer would be given all freedom of action if BIS- signed to direct the program.

Asked if such a man might not run into inertia and frustration as did the late Gen. Joseph W. Stiilwcll during the Japanese war, Sun said:

"I think China learned a lesson from the Stllwell affair."

American military frustration in China is not. the only factor af- fecting tho United States admin- istration's hesltancy to throw in whole-hog with the Chiang reg- lme. Ono of the grave facts in Chiangs position is that. he has permitted. totalitarianism and reaction to take over the period of tutelage which Sun Yat; Sen considered necessary before China could become fully democratic.

Chiang is an army man, loyal ‘.0 ills friends and to military tra- dition. Politically and militarily he has been unable to bring him- self to the liberation of his gov- ernment which might have in- spired confidence and pulled the Chinese people together.

There is a question whether even such a famous name as MacArthtus could now penetrate the hunger and political frustra- tion of the people. The idea is not new with Sun. (Sun, although a son. of Sun Yat Sen. has been a staunch Chiang starlet-patter, bu: (lid desctrt the old guard long enough in 1944 to urge liberaliz- ation of the Novernment and more democracy before the Kuo-

mintang.) tlflltchQi ICPOTE

Was President ‘Truman and State Sle- retary Marshall are seeking s for- mula by which the anti-Commun- i-st line can be held through lim- ited aid to Chisng or any other anti - Communist. general who seems to have some chance of success.

Control of Chinese defence is of course only one of the questions which pass before American of- ficials as they svudy the problem- The one fixed factor in the con- sidarations is that. if anything at. all is to be done it must be done quickly.

Report 0n D. S. Business Trends

NEW YORK, Nov. 29 —- (Al?) —- Business as a whole is still good despite signs of weakness in several important directions, an Associated Press survey of strat- egic regions in the United Statics showed today.

American business leaders Glllfi- led anxiously such straws in the economic wind as these:

l. A decline in department store sales.

2. Scattered shutdowns or lay-offs by small companies.

3. Easing agricultural prices.

4. Some businesrs expansion plans either cancelled or post- ported.

5. An uneasy inertia in tex- tiles and other soft. goods.

The question was: Are these real denser signals this time? Or

are they false alarms, like the one which early in 1947 a nd again at the beginning of this

year caused recession worries?

B.G.F. Protest Re Potato Regulations

SAINT JOHN, N. B.. Nov. 28 - (CP) -- Resolutions asking Gov- ernment action on a floor price for potatoes "sufficient to meet the growers’ cost of production,“ and requesting the adoption of the Federal type of a ballot for use in Provincial elections. were passed at a week-end meeting of the CCF‘. Provincial Council. Lawrence Bright, llfcAciam. provincial presi- dent, was chairman.

The meeting went on record as “condemning the Federal Govern- ment for selling our potato grow- ers ‘down the river’ to American potato interests. and in deference to their wishes placing a restrictive embargo on the export of Calla- dian potatoes at a time when all possible exports are vital to in- crease Canada's supply of United States dollars."
